Detroit is an incredible city rich in tradition. If you live in Detroit or find yourself in the area around the end of June you should check out the Target Fireworks. It is the most popular event at the International Freedom Festival. So what makes it so popular?

First a little background on the festival. The International Freedom Festival was created in 1959 and has been a popular event celebrating the friendship between the cities of Detroit and Windsor, Canada. Originally the event was called the “Partners in Freedom” celebration and it was created as a joint celebration of Independence between our countries. It has remained a popular event with the Target Fireworks as the events highlight.

On the day of the fireworks more than a million spectators will line the sides of the Detroit river to take advantage of the event. The fireworks are usually set to music and will have a theme which changes every year to keep it interesting. In 2006 the theme was “A Red Hot Summer Spectacular” and it was a 30 minute fireworks show put on by Zambelli Fireworks International.

If you would like to see the festival you have lots of places to go to view them. Some of the lesser known viewing locations include Chene Park, Riverside Park, Owen Park, Fort Wayne, Hart Plaza and Tri-Centennial Park.
